Calluna Vineyards Cuvée 2022 Review
Winemaker David Jefferey fell in love with wine, traveled to France, became infatuated with the wines of Bordeaux, and landed a job in a cellar in St-Émilion. He then came back to the states to bring this passion for Bordeaux to Sonoma County. This blend — a true Bordeaux-style mix of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec — is Jefferey’s version of the wines he fell in love with in the past and it's beautiful. It’s soft and elegant on the palate with notes of blueberries, red plums, pepper, and vanilla.
